PAPER rULLnY.

Application filed April 2. 1914.

To azl whom it may concern Be it known that I, STANLEY J. Bnnnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Binghamton, in the county of Broome and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper Pulleys, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in paper. pulleys in which the body of the pulley is made of compressed paper and having a metal shaft gripped removably mounted within the body, removable metallic supporting ends to the pulley body and it has for its object to provide a paper pulley capable of being easily mounted upon or removed from the shaft without damage to the paper while the pulley body is held in firm adjustment upon the shaft without the use of a key and the paper body always kept in alinement. I

With these objects in view my invention consists in certain novel features of construction and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a side view of my device. Fig. 2 is a front view of my device. Fig. 3 is front view of a part of my device.

The same reference characters denote like parts in each of the several figures of the drawings.

In carrying out my invention I provide a body portion A composed of layers of paper compressed together under heavy pressure. IVithin said body portion A, I have the rectangular shaft opening B. Mounted on the shaft D I have the double clamps O and C. Mounted in and extending between which clamps C and C I have the nut bolts 2. 2. Slidably mounted also on the shaft I have the metal disk E having bolt holes 2. 2. 2. and on the opposite end of the body A I have slidably mounted upon the shaft the opposite disk E having similar bolt holes and through which bolt holes and between which disks and through the body A, I have mounted the bolts 3. 3. 3. 3.

In the operation of my device I first slide Specification of Letters Patent.

upon the shaft D the disk E. I thenplace upon shaft D the clamps C and C and I connect them by the nut bolts 2. 2, etc, and

I turn up the nuts until the clamping members C and C are held firmly mounted upon the shaft D. I then slide upon these mounted clamping members the pulley body A by means of the rectangular opening B and after it I slide on shaft D, the opposite disk E. I then mount the bolts 3. 3. 3. 3. passing through disk E, body A and disk I. I then turn up the nuts on bolts 3. 3, etc., securely and firmly and thus hold the paper wheel body portion A firmly in position on the clamping members C and O and in perfect alinement. The disk E and E being of smaller diameter than the body A permits the bolt to have a firm surface contact with the paper wheel body A while the body A is held in perfect alinement by means of said disks E and E. 5

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and for which I desire Letters Patent is as follows:

1. A pulley comprising a body portion formed of layers of paper compressed and cemented together and formed with a rectangular opening therein, clamping members adapted to engage the shaft and provided with flat sides for fitting snugly within '80 the rectangular opening in the body portion,

a pair of reinforcing disks at each end of the body portion, each disk having a central opening therein for snugly engaging the shaft and clamping bolts passing through the disks and the body portion.

2. A pulley comprising a body portion formed of layers of material suitably secured together and having a rectangular opening substantially at the center thereof, a pair of clamping members provided with fiat sides for snugly fitting in the squared opening in the body portion, said clamping members being disposed on opposite sides of the shaft, bolts passing through the clamping members for tightly securing said members together on the shaft, a pair of disks disposed one on each side of the body portion and secured against the side faces thereof, said disks extending substantially from the axis of the body portion and terminating short of the periphery thereof for strengthening the body portion, there being an opening at the center of each disk sufficiently large to permit the passage of the shaft therethrough but smaller than the clamping members in the rectangular opening in the body portion whereby said clamping members are retained in the rectangular Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents,
